Let's learn about Magnesium sulfate Heptahydrate (MGSO4 7H2O)
Magnesium sulfate Heptahydrate (MGSO4 7H2O), also known as sulfur bitter, bitter salt, epsom salt, epsom salt, is white or colorless needle-like or oblique columnar crystals, odorless, cool and slightly bitter. It decomposes by heat, and gradually loses the crystal water to become anhydrous magnesium sulfate. It is mainly used in the manufacture of fertilizers, leather, printing and dyeing, catalysts, paper, plastics, porcelain, pigments, matches, explosives and fireproof materials. Magnesium sulfate can also be used for printing and dyeing thin cotton cloth and silk, as a weighting agent for cotton silk and kapok It is used as filler in products and used as Epsom salt in medicine.
